Guests can enjoy several new things in 2013, including first-time festival food and beverage at various cooking stations around the World Showcase, and a new circus-like "Land of Oz Play Area".

The play area is an interactive new children’s play zone that will feature play systems adorned with giant flowers and designed to stretch kids' imaginations and muscles. Midway-style games, red-and-white circus-themed tents and the "Oz Movie Garden" of intriguing plants will capture the spirit of the upcoming "Oz: The Great and Powerful" movie.

A Disney character topiary with Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Goofy, Pluto and Donald Duck, with Daisy Duck in a cameo, will be featured in a floral cookout scene in living topiary color at the park's front entrance, and new illuminated gardens in Future World and the World Showcase will light up the festival each evening.

In all, more than 100 topiaries and 240 mini-gardens will fill Epcot.

Returning in 2013, each weekend HGTV design celebrities will host festival seminars while Flower Power musicians from the 1960s and 1970s will perform.

The Flower Power concert series kicks off March 6 through 10 with Micky Dolenz and continues each weekend with pop favorites including:
